Don't Panic! It's Organic

Doesn't this slice of pizza look tasty? Well, if you're Bear Grylls it surely does. The customized poster for Man vs. Wild, a survival show on the Discovery Channel, highlights his food choice on the show. The ants and larvae are the customized food choices that are most likely found in the remote locations of the show. Honestly, the pizza is a great attention grabber. If you look quickly it seems edible, but on second glance you realize that it is an ode to the show's survival tactics. I'm sure Bear would much rather a promotional gourmet food basket, but hey, it's all a part of the job.

Bullet Proof

I've heard of people bulletproofing their windows, but never have I seen an ad for it. This ad from India is for the Bullet Proofing of SUV's, but the fact that the print is so small makes it look like a customized poster for a James Bond movie. Customized car safety kits just aren't cutting it anymore. There are worse dangers than a flat tire or a broken radiator. Someone shooting your vehicle up with an Uzi is a very pressing issue because nobody wants to be caught out there. Does this mean that even normal people have to worry about surprise attacks in India? Possibly. Diplomats and heads of state aren't the only people that need protection. Or maybe just people that drive SUV's are in extreme danger.

Wrinkle-Free

I am fortunate enough to say that I have yet found the need to use wrinkle cream. However, it is good to know what kind of products do and don't work when that time comes. Advertisements have to do a lot of work to properly market and sell personalized skin products. Deracine's aluminum foil customized poster did the job quite well. It shows how "wrinkled" the lady's skin is, but with a circular rub of fingers her skin appears flawlessly smooth. I don't know about you, but the demonstration would certainly prompt me to either buy the product or recommend it to a friend.

Dangerously Dramatic

Children are sneaky little creatures. I know because I used to be one. However, they often do things to make parents seem crazy when in all actuality, they're the crazy ones. If your child is overly dramatic and can be so creative until it's scary, please do the world a favor and put those talents to proper use. As seen in this ad for the 2010 Young Director Awards at Cannes, the imagination can be a crazy thing. It's like a promotional poster for a movie about demented children who want their parents to suffer. I feel a weird amount of sorrow for the mother in the ad, even thought I know it's an ad, for having a drama queen as a daughter. Message to parents everywhere: don't allow your children to use pen and paper in the car if there is chance you might speed. We don't need an ending to this ad to know how it goes.

Thirst for Life

The cleanliness of drinking water is a pressing issue all over the world, but more so pressing in foreign countries that rely on open water sources for all purposes. UNICEF had decided to let people know just how real and scary it can be. In the PSA, a child is attacked by the water he and his peers have gone to collect for drinking and possibly other necessities. Drinking water kills children all over the world and it is time for people to take heed!While we're drinking filtered water out of our personalized water bottles, there are those who can't filter their water. Even though there isn't much we can do about a world crisis, we can learn more about what is going on and steps towards making the issue go away.

Should've, Could've, Would've....But Didn't

First-aid is a skill that many people should know. Not only because it could possibly save the life of a loved one, but because it could save a life in general. St. John's Ambulance understands this and their print ads are showing various stories where first-aid could have saved lives. it's like a promotional sticker for personalized first-aid kits.Or in this case, St. John's Ambulance. People dying from things that could have been prevented with immediate care is reason enough to create an ad like this one. I like thought provoking messages rather than scare tactics to get attention.If you don't read the note on the side then you're sure to miss what the ad is about.

Get in the Game

Sony’s new ads for its Bravia internet television feature kids as the stars of huge soccer games and rock concerts. They are getting their point across that having Bravia TV means you can relive the greatest moments from your childhood up until now (whatever age you might be). The fact that bit’s high-quality internet television makes it all the more enticing because the images are sharp and you don’t have to squint at the computer screen anymore. In this particular ad young boys enter the stadium for the world cup and play a game of soccer as children would, but with a crowds roaring for them. Customized t-shirts and promotional noise makers will see a decrease in meaning for those people with Bravia TV. Memorable moments will be just as memorable on the TV screen.
